That is exactly what they have done. They have been together for 20 years and have raised two children now ages 11 and 16. They are in a two parent household and have no intentions of changing that situation.

They just think the idea of marriage is ridiculous and choose not to go to the courthouse and get a piece of paper which is absolutely meaningless.

They are both atheists (as am I) and for a lot of us marriage is just not necessary.....

I'm sorry if you cannot understand that.

No, I didn't become a frickup until after I joined the military.

That wasn't from my wife. If my wife could throw a punch that well I wouldn't have married her because that's unlady like. How do you people remember shite form 9 or 10 months ago?

I'm not married to my childrens' mother but we are in a commited relationship. There are many reason why people do not get married and not all have to do with willingness to commit. Also life does not always work out like we strongly believe it should.

I would argue that the volume of kids raised in single parent households has been a huge contributing factor to many of the societal problems we face. Marriage is simply an indicator of that life long commitment. I don't know that the piece of paper matters that much but what does matter is that a kid have a happy healthy home. That is oftentimes more likely in a household with married parents. For those of you that didn't grow up that way or aren't raising your kids in that situation we can probably all agree that it is much more difficult to parent your kids well when you have joint custody or visitation every other weekend.

My wife and I got married at 20 and she was pregnant six months later. You're telling me we would be worse parents if those events happened in reverse?

Why? I know several couples who are raising children together in very happy households who are not married.

They are still very committed to each other without conforming to the outdated (IMO) notion of marriage.....

I agree with this so it seems you are contradicting yourself a bit......

any time my friends told me they were going to have a baby i always give the tentative, "congratulations?" rest of the conversation is based on their response.
